Quick Count
Auto Tare Method
1. Sampling Pieces:
(a) If a container is used:
(i) Place an empty container on scale and press the 3 Sample or
9 key. The scale will automatically tare the container.
- or -
(b) If a container is not used:
(i) Press the 3 Sample or 9 key without the sample pieces on the
scale. The scale will tare to establish a net zero reference.
2. Add the sample pieces and press the 3 Accept key to accept the sample.
17
(iii) Key in the sample size and then press the 3 Sample or 9
key. The scale will accept the current weights as a sample and will
display the quantity.
-or-
(b) If the sample size is known and no container is used:
(i) Place the sample on the scale.
(ii) Key in the sample size and then press the 3 Sample or 9
key. The scale will accept the current weights as a sample and will
display the quantity.
Example: D J 3 or 9
Use the > key to check other modes such as the Tare weight and Average Piece
Weight. The 4 (Count) can be pressed to return to the count mode at any time.
After accumulating, the weight must return to zero before another accumulation
will be added. The display will show CLEAR WGHT! if the weight is not within
the zero threshold. Remove weight and try again. This feature is necessary to avoid
double accumulations.

2. Add the sample pieces and press the 3 Accept key to accept the sample.
c. Key in the sample size and then press the 3 Sample or 9 key. The
scale will accept the current weights as a sample and will display the
quantity.

Example: D J 3 or 9
1. Key in the new part number and press the 5 (Rec/New) key. The other data
fields will be cleared.
2. Follow the directions for sample and count above.
3. If you want to add a part description key in the description and press 6
(Desc.). Skip this step if the description is not necessary.
4. Press 4 to store the part number, APW, and description.

1. Recall the part number to be deleted by keying in the part number and
pressing 5 (Rec/New). The part number does not have to be recalled if it
already being viewed.
2. Press 7 (Setup).
3. Press 4 (Delete Part#). You will be prompted with the part number to be
deleted and the choice of deleting the part number or aborting the process.
This key will not appear if a part number has not been recalled.
4. Press K to cancel and return to the APW LOOKUP screen or to
continue deleting the part number.
2. Add the sample pieces and press the 9 key to accept the sample.

c. Key in the sample size and then press the 9 key. The scale will accept
the current weights as a sample and will display the quantity.

Calibration Methods
There are six methods of calibration. Press > to select a calibration method. Press
to begin the calibration method selected. Refer to the appropriate section for calibration
instructions.
• New Zero - Establishes a new zero (no load) and span (test load) calibration
reference.
• Last Zero - Performs a span re-calibration without removing the test load. (This
selection is not available with linearization enabled.)
• Temp Zero - Performs a calibration without removing the current gross weight.
The zero reference determined during the last calibration is maintained. (This
selection is not available with linearization enabled.)
• Only Zero - Establishes a new zero reference without affecting span.
• Cal Reset - Adjusts the zero and gain factors of the A/D amplifier to default
values for maximum sensitivity.
• Known LCOut - Calibrates without the use of test weights. The mV/V value and
full scale capacity of each load cell must be known.
23
New Zero
The most common calibration procedure, New Zero establishes a new zero (no load) and
span (test load) calibration reference. Use this method for first-time calibration and
complete re-calibration.
24
Last Zero
Last Zero allows span re-calibration without removing the applied test weight. The last
zero established by pressing from the weigh mode will be used as the zero reference.
This procedure is especially useful when performing routine tolerance checks on large
capacity scales. A scale found to be out-of-tolerance can be easily calibrated without
having to remove the test weights to reestablish a zero reference.
25
Temporary Zero
Temp Zero is used to calibrate without establishing a new zero. Calibration can
be performed without removing the currently applied gross load. A temporary
zero is established so that test weights can be added during calibration. The
original zero reference determined during the previous calibration is not affected.
This procedure is commonly used to calibrate hopper scales where it is
impractical to empty the product before calibrating.
26
If you choose to “undo” the calibration when exiting the setup mode, you will also
undo any unsaved changes made to the setup parameters.
Calibration Reset
Cal Reset sets the gain factors of the A/D amplifier to minimum values and clears the
A/D’s zero offset. These gain values are stored in the Information Parameters at P61104
Æ P61107 (see the Calibration Parameters section). A Cal Reset should be performed
if calibration is not possible due to an over-load condition, or if the displayed weight
value does not change when the test weight is applied.
27
If an over-load condition exists at the time of calibration, the calibration method prompts are replaced by an
Over load! message. Press K to proceed directly to the Cal Reset procedure.

NTEP Requirements
The National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP) is a widely accepted weights and
measures standard in the United States, with most states abiding by some or all of the
NTEP requirements. A complete list of these regulations is available in the “Handbook
44” publication distributed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST). For more information, call (301) 975-3058, or visit http://www.nist.gov.
Where applicable, enabling the restrict parameter will over-ride the current setting of
other parameters.

† Custom units must be site approved. Lb/oz is not approved for legal-for-trade
installations.
The Model 675 has two types of sealing provisions, a physical seal and a three event
audit trail counter. Check with your local weights and measures authority to determine
your requirements.
32
AUDIT TRAILS
Three separate incrementing, non-resetable audit trail parameters are used by the Model
675 to indicate changes to various parameters, P60201 – OIML, P60203 – Calibration ,
and P60204 – Setup. An audit trail counter will increment only once upon exiting the
Setup Mode and saving changes regardless of how many settings were changed.
